Soil-Water-Balance MODEL OUTPUT for simulations of net infiltration, runoff, and irrigation water use in the Mississippi Embayment Regional Aquifer System, 2000 to 2020

This item provides water budget simulations for the Mississippi Embayment Regional Aquifer System (MERAS) during the period 2000 to 2020. Gridded daily data (1 kilometer resolution) include net infiltration (water that might become groundwater recharge), rejected net infiltration, runoff, irrigation, actual evapotranspiration and gross precipitation The model output files are in netcdf4 format and all water budget components are in inches. The net infiltration, rejected net infiltration, runoff, irrigation, and actual evapotranspiration data sets are from simulations done with the USGS SWB model (version 2; Westenbroek and others, 2018). The precipitation and temperature data used as input for the SWB model application are derived from PRISM Climate products (PRISM Climate Group, 2020). Further details about this application of the SWB model can be found in the related primary publication.
